AN INFORMATIVE BOOK EVERY ONE SHOULD HAVE

I loved this book. It should be in every home library
A good, basic guidebook, especially for the novice.

Randall writes from a wealth of experience in the outdoors and has even led parties up Mount McKinley. The book covers all the basics and is an excellent introduction to the sport of backpacking. I especially recommend it for the novice contemplating a backcountry hike. With proper preparation, backpacking and camping can be an enjoyable and even spiritual experience. Lack of preparation can end in death due to exposure or a costly search and rescue. Reading this book will help make your first wilderness experiences a success.
